This document reproduces an authentic, monarchy-era genealogical register published near the end of the reign of His Majesty King Lunalilo on January 6, 1874, in the Hawaiian-language newspaper Ka Nuhou Hawaiʻi (Buke I, Helu 10, Aoao 3). Titled "Ka Papa Alii o Hawaii I Hoohonohono Pono Ia" (The Correctly Ordered Registry of the Chiefs of Hawaii), it serves as a critical historical record compiled just prior to the legislative election of King David Kalākaua.
Key features and lineages preserved in this primary source include:
- Pre-BGHC Baseline: Published in 1874, this public ledger provides an invaluable baseline of recognized royal relationships (na ʻohana Aliʻi) prior to the formal statutory establishment of the Board of Genealogy of Hawaiian Chiefs (BGHC) in 1880.
- Core Ancestries Documented: The text explicitly outlines foundational ancestral unions and lineages, including those of Keawe, Kalanikauleleiaiwi, Lonomaaikanaka, Kekaulike and senior chiefly lines spanning Oʻahu, Maui, Hawaiʻi Island, and Kauaʻi: Kapiolani, Kawananakoa, Unauna, Loeau.
- Authentic Press Record: It serves as a vital primary reference for researchers studying how traditional oral histories and pedigrees were systematically organized, corrected, and published by native authorities during the late 19th century.
